Unhappy Firewall problems
Is it really necessary to do all that stuff? It seems terribly complicated with the likeliehood of fouling something up. I have the firewall problem as above and can't decide why but I am not a complete techie and don't trust anything! Is there an easier way?

I don't think so. Your antivirus software must allow the LW application to function; so must your router if you have one. It's not complicated: when you open your antivirus window you'll have something on programs to be allowed in. It's also the case with Windows firewall: when you double click on the icon you will have 'general' 'exceptions' and 'advanced'. You open 'exceptions' and indicate you allow LW to go through.
